Front and centre is the Xmas Adventure, our tour for the festive season. You can book any of these tours as a team building event.
In teams, you puzzle your way through Cochrane, collect points, and afterwards celebrate the team with the most points over dinner. The programme comes from myCityQuest, you choose the venue and menu yourselves.
A Christmas party in Cochrane works best when you don't have to invent the fun yourself. You already have a room booked somewhere, or you're about to — a restaurant with a long table, a private dining room, a spot for mulled wine afterwards. What's missing is the bit that gets everyone talking before the starters arrive. That's what we bring: a puzzle tour through Cochrane, played on the app, that turns your colleagues into teams and sends them out across the centre for around three hours and four kilometres on foot. We handle the programme, you handle the venue and the menu — and because Cochrane is compact, the walk from the last riddle to the first course is a short one.
Depending on what suits your group, you can choose from the Xmas Adventure, an Escape Game, a Murder Mystery Tour or a Treasure Hunt — all built on the same idea, played differently. The app leads each team along a fixed route past corners of Cochrane like Quigley Ranche House, setting codes, photo challenges and riddles as they go, and totting up the points as they come in. A shared team chat keeps the banter going, a live leaderboard keeps the rivalry alive, and a shared photo gallery means nobody misses what the other teams got up to. All anyone needs is a charged phone — no equipment, no printed clues, no briefing beforehand.
Booking is simple: from $ 16.99 per person plus VAT, with your company choosing the date and time, right up to two days before the event. Invoice, credit card or PayPal all work, and you'll always get a proper VAT invoice for the books. The result on the night is a group of colleagues who've already argued, laughed and compared notes before they've even sat down to dinner — which tends to be the best way to start a Christmas party.

How about a puzzle tour through Cochrane with the myCityQuest app as the program before dinner? Your team heads out in small groups, solves challenges at landmarks across the city, and competes team against team for the top spot on the live leaderboard. Several themes are available, and the tour ends in time for the meal.
The tour comes before the meal: about three hours outdoors in Cochrane, and everyone is back in time for dinner. You book the restaurant, and the program before it comes from myCityQuest. For the organizer, that leaves little more to do than picking the date and putting the teams together.
A Christmas party that starts out in the city instead of at the table: your company splits into teams and heads through Cochrane before the meal, collecting points against the other teams. If a team gets stuck, a myCityQuest guide is just a chat message away. The date is yours to pick, even at short notice in December, and venue and menu stay entirely your decision.
The tour through Cochrane is priced from $ 16.99 per person, and you receive an invoice for the booking. Food and drinks afterward are planned by you, so the budget for the evening stays in your hands.
Yes, in a single booking, split into teams that all start together. The price per person stays the same regardless of group size. Mixing departments when forming the teams works well and gets colleagues talking who otherwise rarely cross paths.
You choose the date and the time. The booking is valid for any day you like, in December just like the rest of the year, and the tour starts once the whole team has arrived. Short-notice bookings work too.
Around three hours. That makes it the first half of the evening: the tour first, then dinner with plenty to talk about.
The tour takes place outdoors in Cochrane, and you can pause it at any point. If the rain gets heavy or the snow piles up, warm up somewhere dry and pick up right where you left off. Warm jackets and sturdy shoes are part of a Christmas party in December.
